comes from here. All that still needs to be changed is our attitude. The "save the whales"/"greenpeace" attitude, with fanatic actions, a reminiscence of the times when Linux didn't have a chance against commercial OS's (like Windows) MUST be changed with a more rational, logical and deep attitude. We must replace the desperation of the losers (please remember the protests i mentioned about in the beginning) with the calm and serenity of the winners.
I mostly agree. Linux has really already "won" in a sense, because there will always be people interested in continuing development for it, and therefore Linux itself will continue. There is no business to go out of business with linux. I don't believe that we need to change our attitudes, or more specifically, our philosophies to allow Linux to have success in the corporate world. I am a very strong believer in the Free Software Foundation, GNU and the GPL. I literally do believe all software should be free. I am realistic about it, but my philosophy is in tact. If I were only concerned about using the very best workstation operating system available for my workstation needs, then I would be using the BeOS and developing more for it (as I should be :-)) I do use Be, but it is not my primary OS. Linux is, and as time goes on, I shy further and further away from using proprietary software, not necessarily because it is inferior, but because it speaks of greed. -- lunaslide * PGP key->pgpkeys.mit.edu port 11371 * * * * * * Yep.
